The Interstellar Starbase Syndicate has a successful history of IPOs and share dividends in the Public Outpost business. Earlier outposts have delivered dividends in-line or exceeding their original business plan estimation, and shares trade strongly on the secondary market. All 3 outpost corporations (total of 5 outposts) continue to be controlled by the ISS and each sees significant growth.
The ISS Marginis outpost IPO and construction were in October 2005. This was the first IPO in Eve and interestingly in any online MMO universe. ISS Marginis' dividends are on target and shares continue to trade in the secondary market for 150% - 200% of the original IPO Value. ISS Marginis has become the trade hub of choice for Eve's southern residents. A further IPO was launched in March 2006, which resulted in the construction (completed) of an Amarr Factory Outpost, under ownership of the same corporation.
The ISS Borealis outpost IPO started in December 2005 and was sold out in a mere 3 days. ISS Borealis has been operational since January 2006. The first dividend showed strong results, above predicition and has brought bustling life to a previously uninhabited part of Pure Blind.
The ISS Providence outpost IPO started in March 2006 and was sold out in 36 hours. ISS Providence involved twin outpost platforms. The first outpost is completed (Gallente) and the second outpost and first dividends due in July 2006.
